A federal judge has dismissed the track coach’s lawsuit against the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, saying Graham failed to submit more than “unadorned, the defendant-unlawfully-harmed-me accusations.” USADA imposed a lifetime coaching ban on Graham in 2008 for his role in helping athletes obtain performance-enhancing drugs. Graham, who coached Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery, sent a syringe of designer steroids to USADA, which began an investigation that helped uncover the BALCO scandal. He has portrayed himself as his sport’s first whistle-blower.

The former Boston pitcher believes his bloody sock shouldn’t be compared to Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer’s bloody finger. Bauer started Game 3 of the ALCS on Monday but threw just 21 pitches before getting removed as blood dripped from his hand. That led to parallels to Schilling’s most memorable performance. Bauer cut his finger last week repairing a drone that he flies as a hobby. “Please don’t tweet at me about Bauer,” Schilling said on Twitter. “He cost himself a start, likely more, AND his teammates, and fans, (messing) around with a drone. #stupid.”
